Totally insane uber prices last night
-
Never seen anything like it on my way home from JFK last night. This is a 25mi ride, often 150-175 plus tip. Ended up taking an old-fashioned yellow taxi for 200.
It was NBA finals night, and world cup starts in two days. But still. Never seen anything close.

I wonder how much of that surge pricing goes to the drivers.

Google’s AI says Uber calculates the customer fare and the driver’s pay separately — one algorithm to find the maximum for what customers are willing to pa for a ride, another separate algorithm to find the minimum for what drivers are willing to accept to provide a ride. I don’t think anyone is surprised by this.
Uber also invests a lot in autonomous driving technology, so all this will become moot anyway when the customers develop enough trust in cars that drive themselves.
